Views:

"Look at the virtue of slaves, they don't grow at all!" Yuan Feng slapped himself when he heard the words, and said with a smile: "Your Highness is still saying that we have to keep a low profile at this moment, so that the emperor will value His Highness even more by keeping a low profile. , I think His Highness is stable! Don’t worry Your Highness, this servant knows what to do!"

The third prince frowned slightly again, but he didn't mean it that way. But he didn't make any excuses, as long as they knew not to cause trouble, it didn't matter whether they understood what he meant or not.

The third prince hurried out of the palace and stopped a carriage. Thinking about the people he was about to meet, his mood immediately improved, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly.

It's just that as the carriage got closer and closer to Changping Marquis Mansion, the third prince's heart became uneasy again.

Yes, he wanted to meet Lu Xiaoshu and tell her the news, the only person he could think of who could share the good news with him was her.

But he hesitated again, wondering if it was appropriate for him to rush to find her like this? Also, will she meet herself

When the carriage arrived at the gate of Changping Hou Mansion, he was still hesitating. Opening the curtain of the car, I stared blankly at the side door of Changping Hou Mansion, wondering if I should go down and knock on the door...

Until the coachman urged impatiently, he sighed silently and said: "Let's go, I won't go down!"

After all, he still didn't have the courage to go to her.

No, the moment he was about to put down the car curtain, a confused female voice rang out: "Young Master Wednesday? Is that you?"

The third prince suddenly burst into ecstasy: It's Xiaoshu! is her!

"Yes, it's me!" The third prince was overjoyed, jumped out of the car without thinking, and smiled at Lu Xiaoshu.

Lu Xiaoshu was returning from Miao Cuilan's side, and he couldn't help laughing and said, "Why are you here? Are you looking for—my father?"

The third prince's face became slightly hot, and he said softly: "I'm here—"

"Hey, my lord, the fare has not been paid yet!" The coachman interrupted him impatiently.

The third prince felt a little embarrassed, he hurriedly turned around and paid the fare to send the driver away, then he smiled at Lu Xiaoshu: "I, I want to tell you that in two days, I, I will go to Henan for disaster relief. "

"Oh..." Lu Xiaoshu was a little puzzled, he thought that he would go to rescue the disaster and he would do it, and he came to tell me, what is the meaning of this? She nodded and said with a smile: "Disaster relief is a big deal, and it's also hard work. Take care of yourself!"

"En." The third prince nodded with warmth in his heart, rubbed his hands a little unnaturally, wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say, and smiled at Lu Xiaoshu in a silly way.

Lu Xiaoshu also smiled at him.

The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Lu Xiaoshu thought for a while, it's not a problem to stand here and ask passers-by or people who come out of the mansion to see her; but he has a special status, so it's inconvenient to invite her to sit in the mansion; it's not good for people to come to see her with good intentions After saying a few words, he drove them away, and said with a smile: "I think it will take you a long time to go to the disaster relief this time, right? Just choose a day rather than a day, let's go to the teahouse and have a sit, how about seeing you off? "

"Okay, okay!" The third prince felt relieved, and nodded with a smile.

Lu Xiaoshu smiled, and took him into a rather elegant tea house nearby, and took the private room on the second floor.

"I wonder what kind of tea you usually drink?" Lu Xiaoshu asked with a smile after taking his seat.

The third prince smiled and said: "I don't care about anything, I can do anything!"

Lu Xiaoshu hummed, and ordered Dr. Tea to make a pot of the best tea here, and then four or five delicious snacks.

Dr. Cha yelled "Okay!" and put all the things on the table in a short while.

At this time, the third prince finally calmed down a bit, looked at Lu Xiaoshu and smiled, and said: "Today, Father suddenly summoned me, talked to me a lot, and asked me to do this errand. He still has headaches all these years. The first time you summoned me, the first time you spoke so much to me..."

Lu Xiaoshu was taken aback, he didn't expect him to say this to himself. Seeing the unresolved joy in his eyes, Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help but sympathize with him.

Among the three princes, he has almost no sense of existence. Emperor Xiangqing treated him like this, what was rare was that he didn't complain at all, instead he was so happy because of his first summoning in more than ten years, he is really a good-natured person.

It was inconceivable to Lu Xiaoshu that such a person could grow up safely in the palace.

She finally understood two points: the reason why he came to find her was not for anything else, but because Tete came to share his joy with her.

He treats her as a friend, so naturally she won't be indifferent to him.

"Really!" Lu Xiaoshu laughed and said, "It can be seen that the emperor still values you in his heart, after all, you are father and son! The emperor sent you an errand, so you should do it well! Disaster relief is a matter of great merit!"

"I will handle it well," the third prince blushed slightly, smiling a little shyly, but his expression was full of determination: "I can see that the father attaches great importance to this matter and expects me. He will be disappointed!"

"En!" Lu Xiaoshu nodded, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help reminding: "This is your first time on an errand, and it's such a life-saving matter, you'd better be more careful, and don't let your subordinates be deceived. Bottom The officials in the city may have sneaky, raped and tricked people, trying to steal food from the victims! There are so many tricks! You must keep your spirits up!"

The third prince was stunned, and said: "You are right, just like the slaves in the palace, there are not a few people who lie to others!"

"That's right!" Lu Xiaoshu said, "No matter how many servants in the palace cheat and hide, there are only so many people involved, but this disaster relief is different, and it involves tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and hundreds of thousands of lives. It would be even worse if there was a civil uprising! The officials outside are not only well-read in poetry and books, but also experienced in the officialdom for many years. They are better than the slaves in the palace when they play tricks Too much! Your Majesty's longevity is coming soon, if something goes wrong, your Majesty will be unhappy, so you have to be more careful!"

When Lu Xiaoshu said this, the third prince suddenly felt enlightened, and couldn't help but change his face and muttered: "You are right... thanks for reminding me, otherwise, even though I thought about it, I would still be careless. But, I never I have contacted those officials outside, and I don't know how they will act... "

Seeing this, Lu Xiaoshu couldn't bear it, raised his small chin, and said with a smile: "Let's do this! Just help people to the end, send Buddha to the west, if you believe me, I will tell you what I have been listening to all these years. What happened here, Quan should give an example, so I can remind you, how about it?"

"That would be the best, it's just hard work for you!" The third prince was overjoyed, and laughed quickly.

"It's not hard to talk about it!" Lu Xiaoshu smiled, blinked his eyes, giggled, and joked, "However, if you feel bad, when you come back from disaster relief, you will receive some kind of reward from the emperor. Just give me a little bit!"

Seeing that she asked him for something, the third prince's heart skipped a beat. He felt extremely happy for no reason, and immediately said with a smile on his face: "Okay, okay! If the emperor has a reward, I will give it all to you!"

"Just teasing you!" Lu Xiaoshu couldn't help laughing out loud when he saw him taking it seriously, and joked: "If the emperor rewards you with a boa robe, jade belt, and purple gold crown, will you also give it all to me?"

The third prince smiled a little embarrassedly, and said: "Then, what do you like and what do you want, I will give it to you!" But he said in his heart: What about the python robe, jade belt and purple gold crown? It's a pity that these things are exclusively used by the royal family, otherwise I would be willing to give them to you.

"Let's talk about it when you come back!" Lu Xiaoshu smiled, and said seriously: "I'll give you some examples, so you might as well compare them."

The third prince nodded quickly.

Lu Xiaoshu thought for a while, and then told him some cases that he had seen on TV, computer, newspapers and magazines in modern times.

Where did the third prince hear this

He grew up in the deep palace since he was a child. Although he was unknown, but because of the silent and silent care of the Queen and Aunt Qing, he had never experienced any hardships or had a real experience of conspiracy and tricks. Relatively speaking, his life was smooth sailing.

For what Lu Xiaoshu said, he didn't say he had never heard of it or seen it, but he just thought about it, never thought that people's hearts would be like this! I was stunned to hear it.

Seeing him like this, Lu Xiaoshu guessed two or three points, and couldn't help shaking his head in his heart: It's an anecdote in the world that such a person can be raised in a place like the imperial palace! Hey, why is he so innocent? The mind is as white as a piece of white paper!

Just like that, the emperor even sent him to help the disaster? Don't worry!

Lu Xiaoshu searched again and told him everything that came to his mind, only hoping that the short-term assault training would be of some use.

Unknowingly, time has passed for a long time.

It wasn't until a ray of setting sun shone obliquely on the table through the window edge that the two of them suddenly came back to their senses.

"Okay, I have to go back to the palace first!" The third prince couldn't help but get up. If you come back late, the palace gate will have a key!

"Tomorrow... can you still tell me?" The third prince smiled a little embarrassedly.

Lu Xiaoshu turned his head and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Let's forget it! You will be leaving soon, and you have to prepare a lot. If you leave the palace at this time, if the emperor finds out and asks you, what would you say?" Woolen cloth?"

The third prince was suddenly at a loss for words, yes, if the father really asked, he really couldn't say anything. He doesn't dare to bully the emperor, but he doesn't deceive the emperor. This truth is a bit unbelievable.

The third prince couldn't help feeling regretful, and said: "Then wait until I come back from the disaster relief, and then come to see you."

"Well," Lu Xiaoshu nodded and said with a smile, "Bon voyage!"

"I'd like to borrow your good words!" The third prince smiled, reluctantly bid farewell to Lu Xiaoshu, and returned to the palace.

Aunt Qing found out, and cheerfully said to the queen: "The third prince is out of the palace today! He went to see Marquis Changping's daughter, and he didn't return until the palace gate was about to drop the key."
